If the great news with regards to 2.80 kernel dumping wasn't enough for those who were on lower firmwares, Dark_AleX's latest release of 3.02 OE-A will definitely make your day! Don't worry, while the name makes it sound like a totally different hack, it is in essence, just like the earlier SE firmwares. What you get with the latest version is amazing to say the least.

Here's the full list of new features in 3.02 OE-A:

3.02 Custom Firmware - 3.02 firmware environment with 1.50 homebrew capability.
Can run homebrew using 3.02 kernel
UMD Video region free
PSP kernel region selector
O/X button selector
WMA enabling option
Flash player enabling option
Pops (SCE PSONE emulator) - DRM protection hacked (Which means that you can now your game on more than one psp, and share them over the internet)

The installation is just like the previous custom firmwares by Dark_AleX. Nonetheless, here's a guide:

Generating the DATA.DXAR:

Copy oeupdmaker and oeupdmaker% to /PSP/GAME/ if you are using 1.50 firmware and to X:/PSP/GAME150 if you are using whatever version of 2.71 Se.
Get the 1.50 and 3.02 Update eboots in the oeupdmaker folder with the names "150.PBP" and "302.PBP".
Run oeupdmaker. This program will create a file called DATA.DXAR in the same directory (oeupdmaker).
The program will verify that the SHA-1 of the generated file is correct.
Once that you have done this, you can save the DATA.DXAR file to skip this step in the future.

Flashing DATA.DXAR:

Copy the directories oeflasher and oeflasher% to /PSP/GAME (or /PSP/GAME150 if you are on 2.71 SE)
Copy the generated DATA.DXAR from oeupdmaker to oeflasher directory.
Run the flasher. If your battery is less than 75%, the program will show the error saying so and will return you to the XMB. This check can be by passed at your own risk by executing the program with triangle and L pressed.
The program will continue showing an agreement. Press X to accept and flash the custom firmware, or R to cancel and exit to the XMB.
If you accept, the program will flash the custom firmware. Don't shutdown the PSP and don't remove the memory stick.
Once finished, shutdown the psp and restart manually to 3.02 OE :)

Again, the latest release is nothing more than revolutionary, the key features being 3.02 VSH and the PSONE emulation hacks. Unfortunately, this release is not aimed at TA-082 users, so all the TA-082ers will have to keep wishing and praying for some magic. For the rest who're on their 2.71 SE firmwares, this represents the next golden firmware...Enjoy!

(A last minute note - occasionally this program will result in a blue screen error, but this is not harmful. Just restart and try again.)

Re: wind (Unregistered) - 2006-12-21

» question

I have one noob question...

how do u play ISO and CSO games if your PSP is 3.02 OE?
also, does 3.02 OE means when i turn on my PSP it's in 3.02 version already but also about to do everything 1.5 does (load homebrew and stuff)??

sorry for the noob question, someone tell me please...

Re: eruditejok3r - 2006-12-21

» This sucks for TA-8*

More good news for the old PSP users (soon to be minorities since the TA-08*'s are taking over soon if not already) If they keep updating old hardware we (TA-08*'s) will loose interest on the PSP + the death to the PSP homebrew community.

Re: wind (Unregistered) - 2006-12-21

» thx dsa

thanx man, but how do u play ISO and CSO in 3.02 OE? do u still load devhook 0.51 and jump to another 3.02 fw and load the ISO? or is there a way to load the ISO directly from the 3.02 OE?

thanx

» Problem

I'm not sure if this is happening to everyone, but i had 2.71 SE-C with with the MP3 plugin anabled, i downgraded to 1.50 and then upgraded to 3.02 OE-A... for some reason i noticed that my games or homebrew were not working, and then i check the list of plugins and notice that even though i had anabled them in 3.02, they were enabled from before, once i disabled them, everything started working again. Anyways, GREAT WORK Dark_Alex, this OE-A is a masterpiece. Thx and Happy Holidays

Re: Che361 (Unregistered) - 2006-12-22

» Another problem.

My game saves for Sonic Rivals appear to be corrupt and won't start from the last save game i had. This was working perfectly yesterday when i was on 2.71 SE-C. Any suggestions?

Re: yay (Unregistered) - 2006-12-22

» asoihf

PS1 emulation hacked? This is awesome. I'll wait for some good PS1 games or a patch before doing this though since Im fine with devhook right now. I remember the first version of SE to be pretty buggy and risky.

» TO help the PSP SE-C guy

Make sure you get the official updates off www.psp-hacks.com and name them both 302 and the other 150. then place in the 'oeupdmaker' then just run it it took me 10 minutes to complete it but just leave it going then flash

I 'had' 2.80 until I (i would like to mention now that I wass a dumbass and still am) took apart my psp and broke the backlight and screen connection to the motherboard. Now I need a new psp. but once I get one then I will wait it out until I can get a downgrade to 1.5 or try to get a psp that can already downgrade to 1.5
